Tribes: Ascend May Get Map-Making Tools

DonÂt sound the final charge on the Tribes: Ascend battlefield just yet. Hi-Rez Studios announced earlier this week that the studioÂs focus has shifted to developing their MOBA SMITE and the upcoming Global Agenda 2. As a result, Hi-Rez also confirmed content development for Tribes: Ascend had been put on hold and that a sequel may be more likely than any further major content additions to the game. Luckily, a recent interview with Hi-Rez Studios boss Todd Harris with Rock, Paper, Shotgun indicates that there may be hope for the community to take over support of the game through new map-making tools.

While Harris didnÂt go into extensive detail about what Hi-Rez may be adding, he did explain that the studio would like to release a full set of map-making tools within the next six months, but Harris couldnÂt commit to any release window as the concept is still fresh and nothing has been etched in stone as of yet.
